SocietyCNA Explains: What happens when forests backing carbon credits burn?

Wildfires in Indonesia have reached areas connected to carbon-credit projects, putting those forests at risk. The programme examines whether credits still count after forests burn, who bears the cost of released carbon and whether safeguards are strong enough.
